This will be long

I've been a good girl today, totally avoided anything political. Do I get a cookie?

Actually, I've had a decent equivalent of a cookie today anyway. Ju-Jitsu grading. Which was fun. Wasn't being tested myself, but I was being the dummy for a friend.

Except now I'm all bittersweet about it because, well, next Thursday will be my last lesson here until December and I will miss everyone madly.

(Yeah, I'll miss people I see once/twice a week more than some people at college, but hey this has been my one constant since I was 7 so that might explain it.)

Actually, it's quite odd, this one man who's an examiner is leaving 'cause he's going to Australia, and it's wierd because he took me for my first grading and for my black belt one and oh the feeling is wierd. (Sorry that makes less that no sense but hey it's me, making no sense is normal.)

And I'm really going to miss John. And Lisa. And the other Lisa. And Paula, and Chris, and Julie. And Mal. And Emma, Tom, Dave (who is really Mike), the scary blue belts. But John and Lisa most of all.

But other than that, I stayed up most of last night reading Order of the Phoenix ( So I thought I'd give my thoughts here )

I might have said something about GOF being unfilmable. That could have been an exaggeration. Order of the Phoenix meanwhile, really is unfilmable. (Can I put in my tradition if they scream this up I will scream bit - if they screw up the Thestrals I will scream)

The main reason I read it was because Ali keeps wanting to talk about it. Now I can. Hopefully we will get that meal we've been promised.

Hope there's something good on at the cinema next week, I'm trying to organise a grand cinema trip.

Knew I'd forgotten something

If Cho Chang would go far far away I would be ever so pleased. Because like I said, I just survived adolesence I don't need to deal with whinging girlies no more.

(Actually, JKR got the portrait of a certain type of teenage girl exactly right with Cho. I applaud her while wanting to strangle Cho.)

(no subject)

Okay so I thought I'd make a list of fics I have to do, or else.

1) This part of the Kisses series, which is once again, blocked on the sex. Actually, not true, it's blocked on the how to go from one part to the next. Doable.

2) More Val for The West Wing.

3) Gen Randy pre-Elimination Chamber

4) Gen RVD trying to get Kane out of bother. Otherwise known as the fic I accidentally deleted.

5) Gen Nash after the hair v hair match.

6) James B-Day fic which I will get ready early. And which is also stuck.

( Post OOTP fic ideas )

There are few other things that I'd like to finish but probably won't, but I think 3 out of the 9 is a reasonable target.
